Tokyo National Museum

This past weekend we went to Tokyo to visit their National Museum.  It is something that Drew had wanted to do for awhile, but we were trying to save it for a cold winter day.  Now is the time for indoor activities!

Drew was happy seeing the samurai armor and I liked the painting of the monkeys.



We both enjoyed seeing this panel of the Japanese alphabet.  I can read most of those!

Some characters are a bit too stylized for me to make out


Afterwards, we went to a Spanish restaurant because I was craving paella.  The menu said that one dish would feed two people, but we were not impressed by the size.  It looks deceivingly larger in this photo than it actually was.  That dish was more of a lunch/salad plate size.  We ended up having a second, and much cheaper, dinner at a sushi restaurant near our apartment.

Adding that lemon juice
